British Firm Releases Condom Which Detects STIs, Collects Data About Bedroom Performance

A British company has posted the first photos of a ‘smart condom’ which collects very intimate data about the sex life of anyone brave enough to wear it.
The smart condom is called the i.Con and can detect sexually transmitted infections as well as sending data about a sex session straight to the wearer’s smartphone.
British Condoms said its ‘revolutionary wearable tech for the bedroom’ measures the number of calories burned during intercourse, the speed of a man’s thrusts, how long he lasts and even what positions are used.
The condom company stated that its invention would help men see how they ‘stack up to other people from around the world.’
British Firm Releases Condom Which Detects STIs, Collects Data About Bedroom Performance

Adam Leverson, lead engineer for the i.Con Smart Condom, said: “It’s here and it’s beautiful. We wanted the i.Con to look refined, non-intrusive and lightweight – the finished article is nothing short of any of those things.
“There’s a lot of tech packed into the i.Con and for us to be able to deliver it in such a way that there is absolutely no hindrance to the user was our main goal – and I think we have gone above and beyond with the i.Con to make sure of this.
“I’m just so happy that we can now share the i.Con with the world!”
The smart condom is a small band which fits around the bottom of a man’s penis, which means wearers will still need to strap on a normal condom to get full protection.
It is waterproof and features a band that’s “extraordinarily flexible to ensure maximum comfort for all sizes.”
Bizarrely, it even lights up to provide illumination for both partners’ private parts.
John Simmons, a spokesperson for British Condoms, added: “We’re extremely excited to share with the world the first glimpse of the i.Con Smart Condom Ring due to go on sale in the UK in January 2018.
“It’s truly the next step in wearable tech and we believe we have pioneered a product that will not only bring an extra element of fun into the bedroom, but will also help indicate potential STI’s present as well as prevent condom slippage, a leading cause of unplanned pregnancy in the UK.”
The condom company claimed 900,000 people have already written to express interest in the gadget.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of...

Behind The Scene Of APC's Primaries, Other Political Parties

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected in June last year, following the primaries of the ruling party. Before Tinubu's emergence, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party had set up a committee led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun to screen the presidential aspirants. More so, all the presidential aspirants had bought, filled and returned the nomination form. The nomination form, also known as the presidential form was on the high side, as the ruling party charged millions of naira. A good number of Nigerians criticised the APC for the high cost of its expression of interest and nomination forms for the presidential nomination, as well as for governorship, house of representatives and for state house of assembly. Moneybags slugged it out become APC candidate Some concerned Nigerians, who have keen interest in the political affairs of the country stated that only APC members with deep pockets would buy the party's ...
